Pubali’s paper, with contributions from Pawan’s computations, on the synthesis and demonstration of a new alluaudite-based cathode framework for Na-ion batteries, was published today in Materials Today Chemistry. The study was the first demonstration of electrochemical activity in Na_3.36Co_1.32(MoO₄)₃ alluaudite, which can exhibit a high voltage (~4 V vs. Na, 4.1 V vs. Li) due to the Co³⁺/Co²⁺ redox activity. Density functional theory-based voltage calculations were in alignment with the experimental measurements as well. The work was led by Prof. Prabeer Barpanda of Indian Institute of Science, in collaboration with Prof. Sai Gautam Gopalakrishnan and others.
